A smoothly coated classic

Polished and professional, matte finish business cards are always in style. Matte paper has been a customer favorite for years, and it’s easy to see why. The smooth, low-contrast finish reduces glare and deepens colours, making them a great option for readability and modern designs like black business cards.

Add your personal touch

Make your matte business cards speak for your business with our variety of custom options. We have standard, premium and premium plus thicknesses available. You can also select a square shape or rounded corners to make your design stand out. For an ultra-eye-catching touch, try adding one of our special finishes, like metallic foil or embossed gloss.

Start designing

Our user-friendly design studio makes business card printing easier than ever. You can upload your own complete design, or you can pick from a wide range of templates, all tailored to specific industries, themes and uses. From there, it’s quick and easy to add your own text, logo, images and more. We’ll professionally print your design, and you’ll be handing clients your matte finish business cards in no time.

Great cards

I should have made my contact details a bit larger. They look bigger in the draft but seemed a bit smaller when they arrived.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you’re happy with your cards. We reviewed the design and noticed that the contact details used a very small font size. For future orders, we recommend increasing the font size to help ensure your information is easier to read and maintains better visibility in the final printed product. Please note that the editing studio is designed to help with layout and may not display the artwork at its actual printed size. For future reference, you can request a PDF proof from the editing studio and view it at 100% zoom to get a better idea of the final print size before placing your order. You can also contact our Customer Care team for assistance with your design. https://www.vistaprint.ca/customer-care/help-center/ To help address your concern, we have taken action on your account. An email will be sent shortly with the details of the resolution.

The card looks like a business card inside a business card and was pretty sure I was right up to the bleed line
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with how your business cards turned out. Upon reviewing your order, we can confirm that the uploaded file appears to be a photo or snapshot of an existing physical business card rather than an actual digital design file. As a result, the outer edges of the photo—including its background—were printed onto the card, making it look like a business card inside a business card. Because our printing process is fully automated, your order was produced to match the exact file and setup submitted, meaning what you received is an exact match to what was uploaded. We would love to help you get this fixed. Please reply directly to this email with your actual digital design file, ensuring it includes full bleed measurements of 2.11" x 3.61". Once we receive your file, our team will review it and assist you with the next steps to get your cards printed correctly.

Good quality, great value, and fantastic customer support. When one of our postcard designs came with a print defect, support resolved the issue instantly and dispatched new copies. Very impressed with their responsiveness.

Very satisfied.

 Our matte business cards have a non-reflective surface on both sides.

You can write on our matte cards, but different markers or pens may give you different results. If you’re looking for a material you can easily write on, try our uncoated business cards.

You can choose from our square shape and rounded corner upgrades. We also offer special finish upgrades, like embossed gloss or foil accent. Just look for those choices as you go through the design process, and keep in mind that special finishes aren’t available with square business cards.

Absolutely. You can choose from glossy finish business cards and a variety of others. Matte business cards have a smoother, non-reflective surface, sometimes described as silky or polished. They’re great for deep colours, especially for black business cards, and have a refined feel. Glossy business cards have a shiny, light-catching finish that helps bright colours and photographs pop.
